I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to do anything.
I'm just saying that equating a hobby to things people literally cannot change about these is absolutely horrible.
Going "well the transes have support but who is supporting furries" is stupid.
Yes, tons of furries are queer, this does not mean that to be a furry is to be queer, it's a square and rectangle kinda thing.
Get your rocks off any fucking way you want but equating liking cartoon animals to being trans, while there is an active push for trans genocide world-wide is fucking disgusting.
There will never be wide persecution or institutional oppression against the tony the tiger fan club.
I'm supporting trans people as well. This is not a popularity contest and I don't view it as either-or. I believe both trans people and furries should be part of the general discours about tolerance and inclusivity of our society. Our tolerance should be broad and not focused only on sexual minorities.
I'm not saying that being a furry should not be protected as artistic expression.
It's just ridiculous to put it on the same level as being lgbt, because being lgbt puts people at serious risk while being a furry means you'll have to deal with an obnoxious edgy 14 year old online every now and then.
Well, there are already countries where people are not allowed to be furries and countries where the persecution is just starting. It can happen anywhere. There's just one intolerance, no matter what target it choses. I'm not trying to compare furries and lgbt in any other way than in the hate those groups ignite in some people. And the hate is what I'm concerned with.
